CSS load balance to multiple ports?

Has anyone used the CSS to load balance to different ports on the same
server? We need to run multiple copies of a Web server on a given server
platform (multiples).

If I have a VIP using port 80, can I load balance that to ports 80, 81, 82,
83 on a variety of servers? If so, how? Is it simply a matter of having
multiple services (one for each port on each server) and associating them
all to the same content rule?

balanced servers, it translates the destination port to whatever you selected
(using the "protocol tcp" and "port XX" commands) when you created the service.
FYI - I've compared it to simple dest-ip differentiation of the servers and it
performed just as well in load-tests (no apparent performance issues).
